 Hello,

 I'm formatting a chart from telerik reporting to make it look as one telerik chart we have in our silverlight application.

 To do so, I have applied a Skin, and then, programatically, I'm applying new color after the chart constructor initialize component has finished and the skin is applied.

  This is what i'm formatting:
 
            Color deepBlue = Color.FromArgb(255,34,85,146); // DeepBlue RGB 34; 85; 146 ARGB 255; 34; 85; 146
            // chart border
            chart.Appearance.Border.Color = deepBlue;

            Color metalOrange = Color.FromArgb(249, 158, 13); // MetalOrange 249; 158; 13
            // title letters
            chart.ChartTitle.TextBlock.Appearance.TextProperties.Color = metalOrange;

            Color lightBlue = Color.FromArgb(235, 255, 255); // LightBlue 235; 255; 255
            // chart background; original 226; 247; 255
            chart.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = lightBlue;

  The Telerik.Reporting.Chart chart var is the one I'm getting from the report after is constructed. The problem is that when rendering the report in PDF, none of this color changes are done.

  As a note, in a test i do, when debugging i check the colors of the chart getting the ones in the skin, the after a clear skin line, i see back the original ones and then, when set mines, i correctly saw debugging my color values set
if I clear the skin, then i see debugging the original values for the colors of the chart. 

Thanks,

Do you use the default constructor? Generally when exporting in some viewers the default constructor is invoked.
